CAIRO (Reuters) - BP Chief Executive Bob Dudley on Monday said the company will invest about $1.8 billion (£1.4 billion) in Egypt this year and he expects a crude oil price of $50-65 a barrel over the next year.

Dudley added that the current oil price is healthy and fair and that the market feels balanced.
